We have been walking for hours.

Thankfully we haven't run into trouble...yet at least.

"So Julia, what exactly are we looking for?"

"Food," I said.

"And shelter I guess."

"Ok,"said Katy.

"Hey Katy look!"

"It's that plant that Emma showed us..." I said.

"Oh! Didn't she say that was edible?" Asked Katy.

"Yea, and look at how many there are! we're rich in food!" I said.

We walked over to the pink and green plants.

"Here," said Katy.

She opened her duffel.

"Put your clothes and stuff in my duffel and we can put the plants in yours."

"Ok," I said.

After I put my stuff in her duffel we started picking the plants and putting them in my duffel.

After my bag was stuffed full of the edible plants we sat on the ground against a tree and rested.

"We've been walking for so long," I said.

"I know right," Katy groaned.

"What should we do now," I asked Katy.

"Um I guess just keep walking and see what we find," she said.

"I hope what we find isn't a pack of man-eating squirrels," I said.

We laughed and kept walking.

I thought to myself, how are we staying so positive when we are in this kind of situation?

But really theres nothing to do except be positive or practically except certain death, and me, I would much rather stay positive and hopeful that we will get home and see our families again.

I want to stay alive..and I want Katy to stay alive..so I'm going to find a way.

We kept on walking until I said to Katy, "Lets start collecting firewood so we can cook these plants we got."

"Ok," she said.

We collected firewood and put it in my duffel bag with the plants.

I looked behind a bush and there was wood already in a pile.

"Huh?"

"What," said Katy.

"Oh well theres a bunch of wood already in a pile here."

She came over to take a look.

"Hmmmm.." She said.

We heard a gasp and we both jumped a foot in the air.

There stood a girl that I reconized from the bus.

It was the girl with straight black hair and brown eyes.

I covered my mouth with my hand.

"Oh my gosh," I said quietly.

Katy and I walked up to her and even though we didn't know eachother we all gave eachother hugs and shed tears.

If she's alive others can be too.

There might just be a shed of light thats escaping from the darkness it was held in for a while.

I believe there is still hope.
